More fake news....funny anyway, and especially in regards to the fanatics that actually were predicting a coming ice age several decades backs.

There was a flurry of journalists, back in the 70s, who after a couple of cold winters, decided we were headed for an ice age. Climate scientists at the time were arguing that it was temporary and that warming was on the way:

Journal of the American Meteorological Society'Sept. 2008The Myth of the 1970s Global Cooling Scientific ConsensusThomas C. PetersonNOAA/National Climatic Data Center, Asheville, North CarolinaWilliam M. ConnolleyBritish Antarctic Survey, National Environment Research Council, Cambridge, United KingdomJohn FleckAlbuquerque Journal, Albuquerque, New MexicoClimate science as we know it today did not exist in the 1960s and 1970s. The integrated enterprise embodied in the Nobel Prizewinning work of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change existed then as separate threads of research pursued by isolated groups of scientists. Atmospheric chemists and modelers grappled with the measurement of changes in carbon dioxide and atmospheric gases, and the changes in climate that might result. Meanwhile, geologists and paleoclimate researchers tried to understand when Earth slipped into and out of ice ages, and why. An enduring popular myth suggests that in the 1970s the climate science community was predicting “global cooling” and an “imminent” ice age, an observation frequently used by those who would undermine what climate scientists say today about the prospect of global warming. A review of the literature suggests that, on the contrary, greenhouse warming even then dominated scientists' thinking as being one of the most important forces shaping Earth's climate on human time scales. More importantly than showing the falsehood of the myth, this review describes how scientists of the time built the foundation on which the cohesive enterprise of modern climate science now rests.
